All students entered in lottery to be given Rose Bowl tickets
By Frances Hong
Staff Writer
The worry is over for students who turned in tickets for the Rose Bowl lottery last week. All students who turned in coupons Nov. 26 to 28 will receive Rose Bowl tickets.
Some 5,500 student coupons were turned in last week. The tum-in was much lower than the ticket office expected, however, said Pat Oliver, director of the university ticket office.
"I thought it would be much higher, and had expected between 6,500 and 7,000 entries for the lottery," Oliver said. "I don't know why the tum-in was so low, but we haven't decided if we will sell to the general public yet."
The university received 44,230 tickets from the Tournament of Roses committee.
Oliver said the ticket office will fill season ticket-holder and faculty orders first before a decision is made on what to do with the remaining tickets.
But she said there are usually no tickets left to sell to the public after filling the orders.
The Tournament of Roses committee was responsible for determining the number of tickets to be distributed to each school. Ohio State was given 19,700 Rose Bowl tickets.
A spokesman for the Tournament of Roses committee said the tickets distributed to this university are located between tunnels one and 12. The university ticket office has not yet decided where students will be seated.
The committee spokesman said the price of tickets for this year's Rose Bowl was determined at a game management meeting last summer. The two football teams competing from last year's tournament decided, along with the game committee, to raise the ticket price from $30 to $35. The price was raised $5 because the teams wanted more money.
A lottery for the public to purchase tickets was

Minority professors are sought

To increase the number of minority faculty members at the university, Student Senate member James McPherson has introduced a program of minority faculty recruitment proposals to the administration.
McPherson, a senior in chemistry, said he hopes to see some action on his proposals by the end of next semester, and that by the fall 1985 semester, there will be a pool of qualified minority professors with which to fill vacancies.
He said the administration is "very enthusiastic about the whole program," and that once they know the senate is working on solving the problem, action will be taken.
Among McPherson's proposals is a Minority Faculty Search Committee that would identify qualified minority professors and doctoral candidates to be considered for positions at the university when they become available.
The committee would be made up of a faculty member from each department, a representative from the department of Black Student Services and El Centro Chicano, and Judith Steihm, vice provost for Faculty Affairs.
Steihm said she certainly wasn't opposed to this proposal, but she thought it "may not actually result in any difference." She said the system for hiring faculty is already so rationalized that if minority candidates were available, they would be considered for vacated positions at the university.
"We really are committed to getting more minority faculty," she said. She added the problem was one of too few qualified minorities from which to choose.
"I think a good pool to develop would be to ask of every chairmen, who are four most distinguished blacks and Hispanics in your fields," she said. She also said she thinks the university should actively recruit these top minority candidates.
Cornelius Pings, provost and senior vice president of academic affairs, said he was dubious of "any broad-scale effort to identify minorities." But he also said he was in favor of broadening the pool of minority candidates and he reaffirmed the university's commitment to increasing minority faculty.
The Minority Science Fellowship is McPherson's proposed solution to this problem of too few minority candidates. It is a proposed scholarship fund to
increase the pool of minority doctoral candidates, McPherson said. The fellowship would be rewarded to two or three minority students interested in doctoral degrees for careers teaching science and engineering.
He said William Spitzer, graduate dean, has agreed to match whatever funds could be generated toward the fellowship from outside sources.
Pings called the proposal "a very interesting idea," and said he would like to encourage specific schools within the university to try it.
McPherson also proposed a Minority Faculty Exchange Program that would "entail faculty members from other universities coming to teach here," he said.
A problem with the program is the difficulty in getting a minority university to agree to an exchange, if they run the risk of losing their professors, Pings said. He added that the plan might have some merit as a "broadening program" for professors but, "I don't see it happening on any large scale."
"Minority faculty means a lot to students," he said, adding that he felt university professors are very important as role models.
"I see no reason why we (Continued on page 13)

America seeks 'destruction' of Palestine, group asserts

The United States has a stake in helping the Palestinians, and it is a shame that this country supports the "destruction" of the Palestinian people by aiding Israel, a member of the Arab-American Antidiscrimination Committee said.

Students suspected of falsifying resumes

Seven law students may be suspended for the next semester after they misrepresented their class standing on their resumes, said Lawrence Raful, assistant dean of the Law Center.
"They didn't put down the proper quartile and the exact standing. The general problem is they moved up the quartile," he said. Naturally, he said, "they wanted themselves to look as good as possible."
A quartile is a ranking the Law School divides each class into. There are five quartiles, ranging from the top 10 percent to the bottom quarter.
Lee Campbell, assistant dean, said, "It's a result of inexcusable negligence." In one case, a student used his second-year grade point average and said he was in the top quarter of the class instead of top third.
"In a lot of cases, students fool around and make a bigger jump," Campbell said, adding it shows "laziness and unacceptable negligence for the sloppiness."
If the seven students, whose names are being withheld by the school, were proven guilty by the law center's administrative board, which will hold a hearing on Wednesday, they would be suspended for spring 1985, and would have to apply again to reenter the school.
Also involved in the fudging case are 21 second- and third-year law students whose resumes have been checked by the two deans and found to have discrepancies against their actual class standing.
The deans recommended the administrative board place 15 of those students under reprimand and censure, and six of them under no sanction.
Five students' files and transcripts may bear a permanent notation of censure, and 10 other students may receive a lighter sanction in which each of them will get a letter of reprimand in his file until he is eligible for the bar examination.
Scott Bice, dean of the Law Center, said, "I'm certainly disturbed by the need of an investigation. There are apparent errors in a way that the resumes were constructed."
The students were given an opportunity for a hearing until a final disciplinary action is taken. "They can accept the sanction recommended by (the two deans) and they have the right" to prove their innocence, Bice said.
Campbell said, "It makes me very angry and furious because we don't want to tolerate this and it's not fair to (other) students picking jobs."
So far four students, who were placed on possible suspension, have appealed to the board.

mies can destroy it easily, because dehumanization leads to destruction," said the Rev. Darrel Meyers, board member of the Los Angeles chapter of the antidiscrimination committee.
"If a nation can get away with dehumanizing people and making them feel less than human without any qualms of conscience, it can get away with anything," he said.
Meyers' speech was part of a commemoration of the United Nations' Day of Solidarity with the Palestinians last Wednesday. It was presented by the Palestine Cultural Club.
The A ADC, with 20,000 members, was founded a few years ago by former South Dakota Senator James Adourezk, who was bom in the United States to Lebanese parents on an Indian territory. The organization has chapters across the nation, most popularly in California, in such cities as Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego and the South Bay. The major office is located in Washington, D.C.
Meyers said the committee was established to fight the "negative stereotypes" that American media and school books have built about Arabs, especially Palestinians.
"The U.S. spends nearly $1 million a day for the continual operation of Lebanon by supplying all kinds of bombs and other supplies, money which (Continued on page 2)
